Notions of the past intruding on the present, secret identities, and the hidden horrors in a small town are all explored in Pieces of Her, a new dramatic thriller headed to Netflix this week.

This slowly unraveling mystery series is adapted from the New York Times bestselling novel by author Karin Slaughter, originally released back on August 21, 2018. Its stellar cast and impressive production pedigree bode well as essential spring viewing arrives.

What is the Pieces of Her plot?

Pieces of Her is based on Karin Slaughter’s 2018 novel of the same name and centers around a middle-aged woman named Laura Oliver and her daughter, Andy, who reside in the southern seaside hamlet of Belle Isle. But for three decades Laura has been harboring a secret identity, one unbeknownst to her college-dropout daughter.

When a violent shooting altercation occurs during her daughter’s birthday meal at the local diner, Laura’s quiet cover story is blown and suddenly the authorities are asking serious questions she is definitely adamant about answering. Now Andy must become a detective and piece together the shattered remnants of mom’s past to clear her name and offer a hopeful future for them both as shadows from Laura’s former life descend on Belle Isle.
